Intravenous lidocaine infusion for lumbar fusion surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving lidocaine through an IV during and after lumbar fusion surgery can help reduce pain and improve recovery. Lidocaine is a numbing medicine that may decrease pain and the need for other pain drugs.
